Accretion Flows in X--Ray Binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei
Abstract
Description
Hard X-ray emission is ubiquitous in accreting black holes, both in Galactic binary systems and in Active Galactic Nuclei. I review the different spectra which can be seen from these systems, and possible ways of producing this emission. X-ray reflection should give an observational test of these scenarios, but we need better models before this can give an unambiguous diagnostic of the accretion geometry.
